Hong Kong Sixes: Pakistan reach into final after beating Australia

Pakistan have moved into the final of the Hing Kong Sixes after beating Australia in the semi-final today.

Batting aggressively, all-rounder Asif Ali scored 32 with the help of 5 towering sixes while Muhammad Akhlaq made 32 with 3 sixes and as many fours.

Pakistan achieved the target of 108 for the loss of 2 wickets.

Earlier on Saturday, The Green Shirts secured their place into the semi-final of the ongoing Hong Kong Sixes cup after beating South Africa by 18 runs in the quarter final match.

Pakistan batting first had a mixed start to their innings as in-form batters Faheem Ashraf and Asif Ali perished for a golden duck in the first over.

The Men in Green scored 105-3 in the given six overs.

In reply, South Africa only managed to score 88-4 despite Evan Jones’ blitz.
